Take a Stitch Tuesday Stitch 88

Stitch 88 for Take a Stitch Tuesday ( TAST) is Sorbello Stitch which is one of those stitches that is easily underestimated until you try it. At first it looks like a little stitch that can be substituted for cross stitches to create a more interesting textured surface. It can also create an interesting filling. As you play with it – and arrange it in patterns Sorbello stitch becomes far more interesting. Experiment with changing the scale of Sorbello stitch, the thread, and the direction. I am sure you will enjoy your discoveries! Here is the tutorial for Sorbello stitch in my Stitch dictionary

When reading the instructions above, I saw the word `crate` twice and was confused until I realized that it might have meant to say “create“. If this is a pre-written statement that you rarely see, you might want to make changes or have your secretary do it. Best Wishes and still am learning everyday!
